An annual tradition of the York-Adams Area Council that goes back many years
is to hold a dinner at the Hotel Yorktowne for all Scouts of the Council who
have achieved the rank of Eagle in the preceding year. Skipper Kain
attended his Eagle Dinner in this same place in 1963, and was extremely proud to be able to attend
his son's Eagle Dinner here on 22 May 2002.

Three Eagles.

Our principal speaker was Eagle Scout the Honorable John Brenner, Mayor of
the City of York. Mayor Brenner gave a great speech, and he was kind
enough to note that Skipper Kain had been his Eagle Dinner host/sponsor back
in 1984. Brian Kline, left, acted as Master of Ceremonies.
